Baldwin: 'I don't want a trophy wife'

Alec Baldwin has revealed that he would never want to have a trophy wife.

The 51-year-old star, who was married to actress Kim Basinger for nine years, said that he would prefer to fall in love with an older woman who has more in common with him than a younger girl he cannot talk to.

Baldwin told Metro: "What's worse than waking up with a 25-year-old woman, you know what I mean? You want to go shoot yourself because you have nothing to say to her. Seriously.

"It's sad but there are men who go for whatever their earliest ideal of a sexual partner was, they stay with that ideal, meaning men often lock into the image of the first girl they loved at 18. They get stuck in an idea of sexuality with young women. Other men learn to see beyond all that.

"Men are literally lying in bed with their wives when the marriage is essentially over thinking 'I've got to get the hell out of here' and have a fantasy woman in mind. Then you get divorced, meet a woman, marry her and, by the time all that goes by, you've aged a few years and are ready to go back to your ex-wife.

"You want a woman who is sane and normal. A woman who is more like you. You've gotten older."
